Pre-Monsoon System in Sindh to Bring Rain and Relief from Intense Heat
The pre-monsoon system in Sindh is expected to bring much-needed relief to residents as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasts the arrival of rainfall and gusty winds starting today. After weeks of scorching temperatures, several districts in eastern Sindh may finally experience a break from the heat.
What to Expect from the Pre-Monsoon System in Sindh
The pre-monsoon system in Sindh will initially impact regions like Tharparkar, Umarkot, and nearby areas. The PMD predicts isolated rain showers, thunder, and strong winds, beginning late Saturday and continuing into Sunday. These pre-monsoon showers may lower temperatures and provide temporary comfort to heat-stricken residents.
Karachi to Miss Initial Showers as Heat Persists
Although eastern districts may benefit from the pre-monsoon system, Karachi will likely continue to suffer from high temperatures. The city’s usual sea breeze has been blocked by unusual weather activity over Gujarat, India, and a western disturbance in the region. As a result:
Actual temperature in Karachi remains around 37°C to 39°C
Real-feel or “feels-like” temperature may rise to 43°C–49°C
High Temperatures Across Other Parts of Pakistan
While the pre-monsoon system in Sindh begins, the rest of the country still deals with extreme weather:
Lahore reported 44°C, with the heat index reaching 47°C
Peshawar and other KP cities are 6–7°C above normal, hitting 44°C, with high humidity
These harsh conditions are pushing people to limit outdoor movement and take necessary heat precautions.
Hope for Change with the Pre-Monsoon System in Sindh
Weather experts believe the pre-monsoon system in Sindh could be the start of larger seasonal changes, potentially signaling the beginning of Pakistan’s monsoon. While early rainfall may be limited, it’s a step toward cooler weather and better air quality.
Precautionary tips for residents:
Drink plenty of water
Avoid peak heat hours (12 PM – 4 PM)
Monitor PMD alerts for any updates
